Sketchbook Journeys - Italy: Day16 (Home at last!)

Well, here I am, almost a year after I flew off for my Italian adventure, and I'm finally posting the final pages of my travel journal - I'm nothing if not persistent!

It's been fun reliving the journey as I finished up my pages, and, I'll admit it, a lot of work, too. You've hung in there with me through sixty-seven pages of writing and sketches. Thank you.

It was a wonderful, amazing, incredible trip and keeping a sketchbook added immeasurably to the experience. I hope that reading about my adventures and seeing Italy through my sketches has inspired you to take a sketchbook along the next time you travel.

Home at last!

One final post to come tomorrow - I'll show you some of the finishing touches I added to complete my Italy travel journal. You've never seen a spiral binding like the one on this sketchbook!

What a fabulous journal of your trip. It's been fun seeing this come alive. Very inspiring. What a lovely way to get thru the cold of winter. :) this is a trip that will stay in your memory so much better by doing this journal.

Hi! I’m Leslie, a painter who also enjoys sewing, cooking, gardening, and travel. I’m an Everyday Artist, inspired by the world around me, and I enjoy sharing my projects and connecting with others here on my blog. I love blue skies and hydrangeas, good books and dark chocolate, porch swings, my family, and lace curtains blowing in the breeze. I try to remember that this life is a gift, each moment a wonder, and that I really do need to stop and smell the roses.
